Genius,... (wip)

I've been wanting to draw this person for a very long time but finding the right image to immulate enough and make my own enough has been a little challenging.  Well here I am finally,..

There will be learning to be done here with the elderly textured skin and white mad hair.

Old Courthouse,.. (almost done)

Just a few more parts to work on,.. scenery mostly.

Old Courthouse,... continued,...

More on this artifact from the past that is no more.  I need to find the information regarding what happened to this old exquist architectural beauty. It was covered in ornamental and finial designs and embedded with all sorts of symbolism, like many of this old structures were.  Todays architecture seriously lacks in that domain, but I understand and somewhat agree mostly that function should proceed al other aspects,.. but althought my mind sees the logic my heart aches for the loss.

So,..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to bad so far. I believe I have all my measurements in order and simply need to shade in the areas.

Old Courthouse

I have finally started on a project which has plauged my mind for a few years now,.. recently a colleague showed interest in one of my works and suggested I draw this very project.  Issues with time and challenges I am not sure to be ready for had kept me at bay, but now I am here,.. just off shore,.. cannons loaded and blowing it up, (if I don't mind saying so myself).
Here are some "in-progress" images,..

This is the Old Courthouse for Escambia County Alabama. It is long gone now, but there is still some stones, bricks and mortar deep underground below the present courthouse. Below I wanted to show the scale of this project.

.... my comeback,...



 

I've been away,.. I apologize for that. No excuses, no regrets,... just life took over for a little while. I had redirected my efforts in other venues but keep my interests the same,.. graphite to paper.

Since my last post (the pachyderm) I have developed some new projects.
